Took the beagles up north to run hare yesterday. Started out at 33 degrees and temp dropped down to 19 by the time we were done hunting.

I always bring my Cur dog with me.

A couple years back, he tangled with a quill pig and lost. Now he hates them and when he winds them, he tries to find them and bay them up. He got us on 3 porcupines yesterday. A lot of houndsman are happy there are three less porcupines now.

Took the porcupines with my .32 magFirst one was a small one. but the gun is about two feet above it hanging on a branch stub so the size isn't to scale

I UNDERSTAND THAT PORCUPINES ARE ALSO NEST PREDATORS AND BAD ON TURKEYS AND QUAIL. AT MY RANCH IN EDWARDS COUNTY, TEXAS, THEY ARE ON THE "YOU CAN SHOOT THEM ANYTIME" LIST (EXCEPT WHEN THE MRS. IS AROUND). MY GRANDSON FROM VIRGINIA SHOT ONE THE OTHER DAY AT THE RANCH (PLUS A COUPLE OF FERAL HOGS), HE DID GOOD WORK.
